Sorry dudes , but this is what the screen of my computer looks like. It’s bad timing and I don’t know when I’ll be able to afford a new computer. I’m looking into it though…I’m fresh back from Europe, where I went shredding with Sebi and Pete…Really hoping I can make that video soon.

If you were in one of the bands that let me use their music, It would be super rad if you could resend me some tracks. Everything is GONE. thesnowboardrealms@gmail.com

Also feel free to help us get back on track by heading over to the store and picking up a little love.

This isn’t a post to just point you towards CAPiTA. It’s meant to make you think… then point you in the direction of companies like CAPiTA,(haha) rider owned, and rider operated! CAPiTA’s Blue Montgomery, Signal’s Dave Lee, shit even Burton’s Jake Carpenter… There are only a hand full of Board, Boot and Binding companies out there that are owned and run by people who share snowboarding as passion and lifestyle.
I love snowboarding, and it makes me so sad to see so many other snowboarders tossing their money at companies that haven’t got a clue, why I feel the way I do.
That’s my rant.

The European Premier of Defenders of Awesome was nothing short of awesome.
Zurich is one of my favourite places on earth, and I was more than happy to pack my bags for a quick journey.
Our good friend Zana Sini booked the small, but perfect Exil club on the west end of Zurich where we crammed close to 300 people in to watch the new movie.

Zana found a Jimi Hendrix cover band to play before the show,

Cheap drinks for some…. free drinks for me !

At about 11:30 everyone piled into the club where Scotty Stevens started up the main event.

Glued to the screen as "BrisseBurger" goes wild.

In true Euro fashion the party continued well into the night, somewhere around 3 the lights came on , somewhere around 4 people started to leave , somewhere around 5 I found a couch and somewhere around 6 I was on my way to the airport.

Huge thank you to Zana and the Swiss CAPiTA crew for putting on such a rad event and everyone that came to join us.

It was a great way to see Defenders of Awesome for the first time. For a full list of “Defenders of Awesome” premier dates check out CAPiTASNOWBOARDING.COM
